In this publication of the International Society for Technology in Education, Solomon (Technology and Learning magazine and Web site) and Schrum (education, George Mason U.) introduce classroom applications and implications of the tools of the new Web ("Web 2.0"): e.g., blogs, podcasts, wikis, photo/video sharing, social networking, and open-source educational software. Tutorials cover representative tools including a Web-based word processor, spreadsheet, and "feeds" of updates. Appendices add a Web timeline, compendium of Web tools, example of a "day in the life of Web 2.0" in the classroom, and national educational technology standards for students, teachers, and administrators.
